There were many design challenges we faced and had to overcome with the team at mifold, working together we developed the compact and foldable hifold design to meet safety regulations, bringing a unique concept to reality. Our ongoing relationship with mifold to produce innovative child car seat designs continues to go from strength to strength”.
